A Self Confessed Murderer.

JOLIET. ILL.,. Oct. 1.-Convict James
Young, one of the most noted and re-
markable of convlc characters ever con-
tined inside the walls of the Joliet peni
Tertiary, died IN his cell at midnight last
night of consumption. Young is the self
confessed murderer of II. p. Allen, who
was Killed at his home at Sandwich, Ill.
in the spring of 1880 by burglars. 1h.
crime created a great sensation, as Mr..
Allen was a wealthy citizen and stood high
in the community. Rewards were offered
freely and expert detectives were engaged
and literally paid to run down the perpe-
traitors of the crime. Finally, William
Thomas was convicted on the evidence of
alleged doubtful witnesses, and was SEN
fenced to seventeen years in the peniten
tiary as an accessory. Young was sent
down from Carroll county April %, 1885,
with a sentence of ten years for burglary,
and began his sentence nearly five years
after Convict Thomas had commenced his
term for the murder of MIR. Allen.
Shortly after Young's incarceration he
confessed to Warden McClaughry, with
convincing detail of circumstances that
he (Young) was the murderer Of Mr.. Al
len at Sandwich. The officers at that
place were informed of it, and Young was
taken out on a writ of habeas corpus. He
was taken to Sycamore and first tried as
to his sanity. 1t was established that be
was perfectly sane. He was then ar
raigned, pleaded guilty to the murder of
Mr.. Allen, and was sentenced for life.
Thomas, meanwhile, was held in prison,
although he maintains his innocence and
exhibited great JOY when he heard of
Youug's confession and sentence for the
crime, but there seems to be no hope for
him yet. Young's confession is one of
the most interesting of contributions to
criminal literature. He was an educated
man and a philosopher, sharp as a razor,
a ready conversationalist, and an astute
and close ~reasoner, all of which his con-
fession ~evinces.

Arrival of the Bear.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 1.-The United
States revenue cutter Bear arrived from
Alaska this evening. She arrived at
Ounalaska from st. Michals Aug. "a. and
gave Frank Fuller, the murderer of Arch
bishop Seghers, into the custody of the
United States marshal. On the same
date the Bear seized the British sealing
schooner Ada with 1900 skins, and the
American schooner Allie 1. Algier with
1000 skins. A few days later the Amer
can schooner Handy, with LOO skins,
was seized. All OF the vessels were
turned over 10 the United States marshal
at Ounalaska. The Bear reports that the
catch Of the whaling feet, up to Aug. 5,
was seventy four whales.
James b. Vincent was among the pas
sengers on the Bear. He is the only sur.
vivor OF the thirty six men on the whaling
bark Napoleon, which was wrecked in the
ice in the Arctic in May 1855. From
that time until he was rescued by the
Bear he was living with a small band of
Indians on the Siberian coast. AS re
lated in the Associated Press dispatches
one week ago, the reports from the
Arctic a month ago hat the Bear was
leaking badly appear to have some found
alton as it Was necessary to have the men
at the pumps nearly all the time during
the trip down from Ouualaska.

THE published statement Of General
Manager Potter that the Union Pacific
would devote itself hereafter to an e1-
elusive railroad business without dabbling
in such side issues as coal mining has
given very general satisfaction. It is
peculiarly unfortunate for any section or
community to fall into the grip of monop-
oily. Competition is the life of trade,
while monopoly inficts paralysis on the
body corporate, retards development and
frequently makes slaves OF freemen. In
the coal mining centers such as Rock
Springs the people are deeply interested
in this matter. The Independent hopes
the report that the company intends
to withdraw from the coal business
is true, not hat there would be any great
improvement in the management of the
works, but when the Union Pacific lets go
of the coal business it will

RATES.

Deacon Hayford. Of the Laramie Sen.
tinel, who is president of the Wyoming
Press Association and editor of the oldest
Republican paper in the territory, takes
occasion tie speak very frankly on the land
advertising business in the last issue OF
his paper. Among other things he says:
1t is fair to assume that after the pa
pers of the territory have spent years of
time, labor and money, to advertise our
territory and induce immigration and set
tiers, and when at last the settlers come
and pitch in and take up homes on the
public domain and are getting largo tracts
of land for almost nothing, that these
same settlers are unable or unwilling that
the said papers should have the small
p%ittance provided by the law for publish
ing their pre- emption notices.
Is it honorable journalism among our
selves to charge and receive $40 for pub
fishing these notices when We are desig-
mated by the land office for that purpose,
but when, by a change in administration
they are given to a contemporary, to
come out and offer to publish them for IS
SO as we have something to carp about2
The law Fixes the price of publishing
these notices at $l2 each. The papers
have tacitly agreed to dol it for $40. Isn't
that cheap enough, and don't the press of
the territory have a hard enough strug
gle for existence, and receive little
enough compensation for its labor. ever
at that
Do you want all classes of official
printing put up for sale-'like town pau
pers"-to the lowest bidder, so as to ena-
BILE you to cut your own and each others
Threats.
Is it any new departure that an official
who has public patronage at his disposal
should give 1t to those persons or papers
which are in sympathy with him, his
policy or party, 10 preference to using it
to build up and strengthen those who
oppose him?
Is it a disgrace to, and beneath the
dignity of, a newspaper publisher to treat
with courtesy aud III a friendly spirit one
who fayors him with patronage and as
sistance, or must he-to prove his indie
pendence q -ignore gratitude and deoen-
cy and repay favors with abuse?
Brethren, there are some of you that we
are ashamed of. You don't show your
usual good sense in this matter of adver
Using. and in the above we are merely
holding the mirror up to nature so
that you may see yourselves as 9th ors

Victim to a Family Feud.

P~INEvILLE, KY, Oct. lone more
notch has been made on the gunstock of
the Turner faction in the Bell county
feud. and the Sowder side has one sym
pathiLer less. While sitting in a parlor
talking to a young lady Sunday night Il.
ii. Monroe. a young man, was shot and
killed BY some in the yard. Saturday
night T II Monroe, in company with
Miss Edith Turner and Louis Bird, went
on a visit to John Mey ems family, about
twelve miles from town. After supper
Sunday night Louis Bird and Edith
Turner returned to the yparler and were
playing a game of cards, when Monroe
came in aud sat on the arm of Miss Tur-
ner's chair. At this instant two shots
were fired in quick succession, one taking
effect in Monroe's left shoulder, passing
directly through his body and out at the
right shoulder. He fell over on a bed,
and was soon dead. He was heard to
groan twice, but did not speak. The first
shot put out the light and the next was
fred 30 quickly after that the bullet cut a
lock of hair from the young lady's head
Miss Turner saw a man at the window
after the shots we're fired, but she did not

posed to be Joe Henderson, one of the
parties indicted for the assassination of
George Thomas. Howard Monroe was
not connected with the difficulties in any
way, but is related to some of the parties
whom the Turner's have a grudge against.
Miss Edith Turner is a daughter of Jack
Turner, recently killed on the str, cts
of Pineville, but she has not lived In this
county since her early childhood. when
her mother and father separated over the
